Hmm, most indicators show our teachers are quite well advanced in world 
terms
regarding utilizing IT in teaching in the classroom .. access is always 
the problem
however .. early research here in Vic shows computer-pods don't work .. 
and so
it's back to the first-day-of-term rush to block-book one's classes into 
the IT labs
around the demands of one's senior IT and Multimedia etc classes .. and, 
then we
decide to have school swimming sports on the day. Sometimes it's just 
impossible
for a class to have lab access in a particular subject .. too often in 
poorer schools.
